First Mother's Day...

Well, yesterday was my first official mother's day. Even though Jeff and I kinda counted last year because I was pregnant, this was definitely my first real mother's day.

I have to say that I was a little emotional yesterday even though I didn't show it. I cried on Saturday when my husband and son had flowers from ProFlowers delivered because I had not been expecting that at all. I was completely surprised. I had been getting ready to go to the 3A State Soccer game and Jeff looked at me and said, "you're not going yet are you?" I was like, "in about 10 minutes I am ya." Well not five minutes later there was a knock at the door and my flowers had been delivered. Needless to say I was so excited!!

The reason I was emotional yesterday was not due to the fact that I have hormones raging from my current pregnancy but from the fact that I have child(ren) at all. For the longest time I didn't think I could have kids because of all the random pains I went through. I went to five different doctors and not one of them could tell me what was wrong with me. I gave up on the hope of ever becoming a mom and focused my energy on myself and losing the little weight I had put on.

Well two months to the day after I started my weight loss journey I pee'd on a little stick that would forever change my life!

I was pregnant!

Now for those of you who know me "well" know that the first thing I did was cry! How can I not, I could not believe this was happening. Everyone around me was getting everything they wanted - marriage, families, etc... I had a great life, but I always felt like something was missing for Jeff and I (besides money ha ha).

After finding out ourselves we told our parents and everyone was just so excited. They were finally getting a grandchild from Jeff and I. On July 1 we found out that it was a little boy and on October 27 at 4:45 p.m. after 32 hours of labor (and him being a month early!!!) we had our miracle! To this day I still get choked up thinking about that week we were in the hospital. How did this happen? I didn't think it ever would and it did.

So yesterday as I was watching my little man blow bubbles with his mouth (hthe new thing he's discovered) I couldn't help but be overly joyed. Also, I realized that next year will be even better because I will have two babies to play with.

I also have to thank my husband for making me have such a good day. He would not let me do one bit of housework and cooked me two great meals! I got the pick of the litter with Jeff because he makes a lot men look bad (yes he cooks and cleans when I don't have to ask him too and he gives me rubs even when he doesn't want to). He's always so supportive of me and is my rock when I am in the dumps. I love him so much and tell him every day how sexy he is (because he really is) and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. He's such a great dad to Cash and those two - they crack me up when they are together. I can't forget my two wonderful dogs - Harley Ann and Raider - they are joys of my life and are always making me laugh as well.

So yes, yesterday I was a little emotional, but I feel like I have a good reason to be. I'm so grateful for those who are in my life. Cash is such a blessing and I know our new one will be as well.

So with that said, I had a great Mother's Day yesterday - hope you did too!
